Problem 10.6: Determine the components of a superposition



Please wait for the animation to completely load.

The wave function shown in the upper right-hand graph, is for a particle in an infinite square well of length L = 1.  You may import a function, f(x) and check the overlap integral with the wave function.  In the animation, ħ = 2m = 1.  Restart.

  1. The state is not normalized. Normalize the state and report the properly normalized wave function.
  2. How much of the total wave function is in each individual energy eigenfunction?   Report as a fraction.
